April IBDP Masterclass

Mock Exam Masterclasses – Easter Holidays
IBDP

Monday 29^th April – Friday 3^rd of May

The Easter holiday ends less than two weeks before the 2024 IBDP exam diet begins.

It is absolutely essential that students revise and develop their exam skills during this period. For this reason, we have decided to offer a short, intensive course in IB Diploma revision at the Modelex Education Centre in Fontvieille.

These courses will be led by experienced subject specialists with an outstanding track-record in the classroom. The lessons will be laser-focused on securing the knowledge and sharpening the skills that we know make the difference between an average performance (4/5) and an excellent performance (6/7). Though we can offer classes in other subjects upon request, we will be focusing on the academic core – English, Mathematics and the Sciences. At the British School of Monaco Individual Programme, our students consistently achieve excellent grades. We are experts in giving students that extra 10 – 15% which can make all the difference

We also invite students to do their own individual revision in our study space, through our ‘Study Hall’ offering. They will benefit from a focused working environment, good internet, a bank of up-to-date resources and the 1-1 support of our teaching team who will be available to answer questions and give pointers. It also creates a helpful distinction between a home and work environment that is useful for students.

While these Master Classes are aimed primarily at Y13 students with imminent exams, they will also be useful for Y12 students who want to get ahead.

IBDP English Language and Literature HL/SL

	Monday 29th of April	Tuesday, 30th	Thursday, 2nd	Friday, 3rd
9:30-11	Paper 1 Technical vocabulary for analysing visual texts	Paper 1 Paragraph building	Paper 2 How to revise	Paper 2 Supervised practice
11:30 – 1	Paper 1 Technical vocabulary for analysing non-literary texts	Paper 1 Planning and structure, Introductions	Paper 2 Comparing, contrasting and evaluating texts	Paper 2 Feedback
Lunch
2-4	Paper 1 Purpose, form, context, audience	Paper 1 Demonstration	Paper 2 Demonstration	HL Essay, Q and A

The English Language and Literature Master classes will be run by Mairin Kane, Roddy Dunlop and Robert Phelps. At HL, these two exams are worth 60% of the final grade; at SL it is 70%, so there is everything to play for. It is also a course that depends far more on developing skills than knowledge, so smart and efficient teaching really is the key to exam success.

Paper 1 is an analysis of an unseen text – often with a stong visual component. It demands good analytical skills, good planning and good writing, and this will be the focus of our Master Class. In Paper 2, students respond to an unseen question using the literary texts they have studied in class. Knowing what and how to revise is of utmost importance; how to construct a good thesis under time pressure, and how to compare and evaluate texts.

IBDP Mathematics – Analysis and Approaches SL

	Monday, 29th of April	Tuesday, 30th	Thursday, 2nd	Friday, 3rd
9:30-11:00	Paper 1 Section A Non-Calculator Short response	Paper 1 Section B Non-Calculator Extended response	Paper 2 Section B Calculator Extended response	Students will be guided on how to make efficient revision preparations as well as discuss effective examination techniques.

The Mathematics Masterclasses (Analysis and Approaches) will take students through the most difficult questions that they will be expected to complete in both sections of both papers. Guiding them through the thought process behind each question will allow them to easily spot the types of techniques that the examiners are expecting from them. This is extremely pertinent in the non-calculator paper (Paper 1), which will “include some arithmetical manipulations when they are essential to the development of the question.” Being able to spot which technique to use in a timely manner will make all the difference with regards to the progress and, ultimately, the completion of a question.

Papers 1 and 2 are weighted equally at 40% of the final grade, and the masterclasses will place an equal emphasis on mastering both calculator and non-calculator methods.

The Mathematics Masterclasses (Applications and Interpretations) will focus on the precise application of mathematical techniques, specifically in the topics of Functions and Statistics & Probability, as these topics make up approximately 45% of the total course material. Students will work through difficult questions to understand the thought process that’s required to achieve all of the available marks. Students will also be guided on how to improve their revision preparations and exam technique at the end of the week.

Papers 1 and 2 are weighted equally at 40% of the final grade, and the masterclasses will look to develop the skill set of a student so that they have strong foundations in the short-response questions in Paper 1 before working on the extended-response questions found in Paper 2.

OUR APPROACH TO THE ACT

The ACT is one of the two main tests for entrance to US universities, the other being the SAT – and at Modelex our tutors can help advise students on which of the two to select given their individual strengths. It is vital that international students applying to the top US universities score highly when sitting the ACT, as their results are used as a key data point in comparing the many candidates applying for limited places.

Our approach to the ACT emphasizes reinforcing students’ understanding of the key topics being examined: English, Maths, Science, Reading, and Writing (in the optional essay section). We ensure students practice the multiple choice format of the test thoroughly, providing detailed feedback and building up exam technique and confidence. We also work through the Science section in detail, ensuring students understand what skills this section requires them to demonstrate.

Our teachers also provide guidance and support for students in preparing to tackle the optional essay question, working with them on how best to develop their arguments and distinguish themselves in the limited time given. In addition, they are familiar with supporting students whose first language is not English in performing well when sitting the ACT.

OUR APPROACH TO THE PSAT

The scores a student attains at the PSAT do not count for university admissions, but they are used to select a limited number of National Merit Scholars. These students receive Letters of Commendation, which can be mentioned on college applications and which are recognised as a significant academic achievement by admissions offices. A very limited number of students are then able to submit their school records, teacher recommendations, and a personal essay, which can result in them being awarded scholarships form the National Merit Corporation, or even from their college of choice.

At Modelex, our tutors have helped many students in preparing to sit the PSAT, both as a good preparation for the SATs, and as a way to distinguish themselves academically in the very competitive admissions process for US universities. We focus on ensuring that students have the right level of understanding of the Maths, Reading, and Writing & Language sections of the test, and that they are well prepared to work at their full potential under the time pressure of the test itself. Many of our students do not have English as first language, and our tutors are experienced in ensuring that these students have the confidence and fluency to tackle the PSAT effectively.
